It is the responsibility of students to be aware of the policy for their specific course(s), as there are various refund policies depending on the type and duration of the course. The refund policy is indicated on the Confirmation of Registration form.

A refund cheque will be issued and mailed for any type of payment. Refunds require approximately 4 weeks for processing. (Refunds under $5.00 are issued only upon request.)

The Recreation Centre's program refund policy is found in the Sports and Recreation section.

Normal refund deadlines apply to sponsored students. A student's failure to complete/pass a course does not void the invoice.

Student Withdrawal/Dropping a Course

Students wishing to withdraw from a course after the start date can do so on the Student Portal or by contacting the Registrar's Office. A mark of "W" will be assigned if withdrawal is prior to 67% of course completion. A mark of "F" (academic penalty) will be assigned if withdrawal is after 67% of completion. Failure to attend does not constitute a withdrawal.

To withdraw and request a refund from a course, the Registrar's Office must be notified within the time period specified in the "Refund Policy" on the Confirmation of Registration and student identification number must be provided. We regret that exceptions to the refund policy cannot be made for students who register late in a course. After the start of the first class, refunds for supplies and/or association fees may not be issued.
